Chumby Control Panel Beta v. 2.6.49 now availible.

3 days after the first Beta release, an update is available. Chumby is defiantly listening to its users.

To run the Control Panel Beta on your chumby, select it from the popup menu on the website on the “My Chumby” page – it’s in the lower right – and reboot your chumby. To return to the release Control Panel, just reselect “Control Panel” (without the “Beta”) and reboot your chumby.

If you decide to revert back to the release Control Panel, you may need to “restore to factory defaults” in Safe Mode if you’ve made changes to the first alarm in the Alarms screen, since it’s interpreted by the older Control Panel as alarm2.

if you are running a previous beta, simply reboot your chumby. Please review previous release notes if this is your first beta.
